Donglai sat stiffly, nervously clutching his water bottle, seemingly still hesitant to meet Lin Yifeng.

He had discussed this matter with his family before coming.

Donglai's family's first reaction upon hearing this was that it was definitely a scam!

Who could be so kind as to offer such a generous reward after only meeting someone once?

Most importantly, they were willing to help Donglai pay off his debts.

Ever since Donglai was released from prison, he has been hesitant about whether or not to practice with Lin Yifeng.

It wasn't until I was chatting with a friend that I learned there was a Wallace store in Makino City that sold foreign gadgets, and that these gadgets were very famous in Makino City.

Donglai pondered that this thing was sometimes related to Lin Yifeng.

In addition, after learning more about the matter, Donglai also heard rumors that Wallace's boss was very young, which made him think of Lin Yifeng.

During his phone call with Lin Yifeng, Donglai repeatedly confirmed that Lin Yifeng was indeed the boss of Wallace before finally making up his mind to defy his family's objections and board the train to Muye City.

"Have you thought it through?"

Lin Yifeng took a pack of cigarettes out of the drawer and placed it in front of Donglai.

Donglai swallowed hard as he looked at the bright red Zhonghua cigarettes on the table.

He used to be in charge of reselling cigarettes and alcohol, so how could he not know the price of Zhonghua cigarettes?

Even if you have the money, it's not easy to sell this stuff.

Seeing how generous Lin Yifeng was, Donglai began to wonder if Lin Yifeng had specifically recruited him to help resell cigarettes and alcohol.

Lin Yifeng noticed that Donglai was still somewhat wary, and knowing what he was thinking, he took the initiative to speak and dispel his doubts.

"Don't worry, I didn't ask you to help me get cigarettes and alcohol."

"I'm planning to open a supermarket."

"I'm short-staffed, and you can come and help me out."

Donglai blinked, his face full of confusion.

Although he didn't know what a supermarket was, he could probably guess that it was a place that sold things.

Faced with Lin Yifeng's offer, Donglai still asked cautiously.

Why are you looking for me?

This left Lin Yifeng momentarily speechless.

The main reason for seeking out Donglai is that Pang Donglai cannot function without its key figure, Donglai.

But Lin Yifeng certainly couldn't say it directly, so he could only choose to dodge the question.

"I've inquired about you."

"You have a good relationship with your suppliers, and you have a very good reputation in the tobacco and alcohol business in Weidu."

"The supermarket I want to open needs someone who can stabilize the situation, but I don't need that person to be cunning and deceitful."

"You are the best candidate."

Seeing Lin Yifeng praising him so highly, Dong could only nod blankly.

Lin Yifeng's statement is correct.

Donglai has always had a very good reputation within the Weidu circle.

Because of his kind nature and honest business practices, many suppliers are happy to cooperate with him.

It was precisely because of his personality, coupled with his ever-growing tobacco and alcohol business, that some of Wei Du's competitors became envious and privately reported him, sending him to the police station.

To be honest, Donglai was not an exception in those days; almost every small shop was doing this kind of illegal business.

This time, Wei Du is just making an example of someone to serve as a warning to others.

Unfortunately, someone sabotaged things in the dark, and Donglai became the unlucky one who got caught.

However, it's not the right time for Donglai to join Pang Donglai right now; he needs to get familiar with his surroundings first.

Sitting in front of Lin Yifeng, Donglai hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind.

"Does what you said still count?"

Lin Yifeng's lips gradually turned up.

"I always keep my word."

"If you're worried, I can pay off your debt first, and then you can consider it."

Donglai didn't speak, but just lowered his head and thought.

Lin Yifeng was naturally not worried about Donglai running away with the money.

That guy isn't that kind of person, and he would never do something like that.

After hesitating for a moment, Donglai replied in a serious tone.

"I don't need you to pay me back first."

"I'll work for you first! If there are any problems, you can fire me."

"If I do a satisfactory job, then you can consider paying me back."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yifeng knew he hadn't misjudged the person.

Donglai is such a being.

When he opened Pang Donglai Supermarket in the future, he maintained the same way of doing things, which is why Pang Donglai has grown bigger and bigger and has a high reputation among the people.

"good!"

Lin Yifeng nodded in satisfaction.

"This is exactly the attitude I want."

"I will pay you your salary as usual."

“The supermarket is dealing with some issues with the merchants recently, so you can go with Qingyi to help out.”

"I'll entrust the matter of Pang Donglai liaising with merchants and suppliers to you two. It'll be a good opportunity to test your abilities."

A look of joy flashed across Donglai's face.

Xu Qingyi looked puzzled.

He couldn't understand why Lin Yifeng valued this man so much. From Xu Qingyi's perspective, he could find plenty of people like this and wouldn't need to go through so much trouble, let alone pay off his debts, to recruit him into their group.

However, Xu Qingyi doesn't understand yet that not everyone is like him and Guo Fengsheng, able to maintain their true nature.

Especially after becoming wealthy, it becomes extremely difficult to maintain one's true nature.

There are many people like Donglai now who don't have much money, but are still very easygoing.

But once you have a lot of money, there are very few people like Donglai who can stick to their principles.
